[Lord, if some secret sin of mine]

Achan was taken. —vii. 18.

Lord, if some secret sin of mine
Doth now for public judgments call,
Obstruct the course of grace Divine,
And bring Thy righteous wrath on all;
Before the dreadful day o'ertake,
When sinners shall their doom receive,
O may I here confess, forsake,
Abhor the cursed thing, and live.
